Tale of Nostalgia and Existential Crisis
One of my new favorite games. Extremely recommended if you are into story-driven games - ESPECIALLY character writing. You might be disappointed if you are more into complex plotting or big twists. The game seems cute and cuddly from the outset, but the story it tells is about very real issues: psychological problems, economic decline, existential crises, dealing with dead-end jobs, etc. The characters (especially the main four) are written extremely well and feel real & relatable, especially if you are under 30. There is a lot of humor in the game as well as human warmth - which is perfectly juxtaposed to the heavier and bleaker themes. The plot is well thought out and satisfying. Gameplay mainly consists of wandering around town and talking to people + some light platforming, exploration and minigames. This is NOT a game which requires skill. You can fail every minigame and still progress the story. However, it is not a detriment - these game design decisions work in tandem with a story being told. You will probably not enjoy this game if you want something that tests your skill or if you want a plot-focused story-driven experience. There is a mystery plot in "Night in the Woods", but its purpose is to reinforce the game's themes - it is not the focus. Characters are. However, if you are interested in a character-driven drama about quarter life crisis which will make you laugh and cry in equal measures, give "Night in the Woods" a try. TL;DR: Story driven, character focused adventure game. No puzzles or any activities which require skill. Story is NOT plot driven - all the focus is on character development, themes based on real-life issues and mood. Very well written, both funny and tragic. Wonderful niche game.
